Emerson’s just two games in for Milan, got hauled off on 70 mins today and he’s had pelters from fans on social media already:

Emerson Royal is terrible. Like absolutely didn't even bother closing space on that. He literally just gave up. To think he took Kaka's number”.

Emerson Royal is absolutely not an upgrade on Calabria. I’ve seen enough

I won't ever get what made them go for Emerson Royal and how they paid €20 ****ing million for him, definitely one of our worst signings.

Sorry, no refunds :)

They gave him Kaka's number?!

Apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere, but Kyle Walker appeared on a podcast yesterday and one of the topics that came up was his move to City.

He claimed that the decision was in fact down to Poch telling him he preferred Trippier and that Kyle wasn't in his plans for the 17/18 season.

This came as an absolute shock to me and almost totally contradicts all other accounts I'd heard about the move (i.e. that he was tapped up by City, we didn't want him to leave, he told the dressing room before the FAC semi that he wanted to leave, Poch and Levy were understandably furious etc.).

Judas levels of lying imho

He made 33 starts in the league in his last season with us and was voted into the PFA Team of the Year.
Trippier made 12 appearances in the league for us and 10 in the cups.
Walker's lying his arse off and he downed tools after being tapped up by City.

I remember breaking down his blatant bullshitting a while back, possible even on Old606, and it made it clear that Walker had started something like 15 of the 20 matches before the FA Cup semi he threw a wobbly over - and at least two of the 5 games Trippier started were against lower league opposition in the cups

Steven Bergwijn's headed to the oilfields

Koeman’s basically told him to forget about playing for the Netherlands again now.

To be honest, at probably £500k-£1m a week wages, I wouldn’t give a ****. Toney’s reportedly going to earn £1m a week with wages and bonuses too, whilst your sporting ambition dies with these types of moves you can see why players take them, even if they are earning obscene amounts already. That sort of money you can not only live the most luxurious of lives but all your family and friends can easily be looked after too.
 
I saw Dilan Markanday play for Chesterfield on Saturday, played very well in what was very fortunate 1-0 win for the Gills. He had a well taken a goal chalked off for a very tight offside call. Quick and direct but still very slight, and may have found his level. but a couple of good seasons in league 2 could see him progress up the leagues again.

James Horncastle: "Milan keeps conceding the same goal on Emerson Royal's side. His €15 million (12.6 million pounds; 16.6 million dollars) transfer from Tottenham Hotspur seems like the biggest donation in the history of the Milan Foundation, which is charitably trying to fulfill his dream of becoming a footballer."

That's probably more brutal than anything I've ever said about him <laugh>

Just came to share the Emerson tweet too <laugh>

What a dreadful player he is. How Milan scouted him and still decided to sign him <laugh>
